Millennial Media to be Acquired by AOL
LUMA Partners acted as Exclusive Financial Advisor to Millennial Media
Announced September 3, 2015

acquired by
September 2015
a division of
Video&Ad&Tech&
Display&Ad&Tech& Content&
Video&Ad&Tech&
Display&Ad&Tech&
Mobile&Ad&Tech&
Content&
Ø Millennial Media (NYSE: MM) is the leading independent mobile marketplace,
making mobile simple for the world’s top brands, app developers and mobile
web publishers. The company’s unique data and technology assets enable its
advertising clients to connect with their target audiences at scale. Millennial
Media also drives monetization for its publisher and developer partners by
connecting them to networks, advertisers and an RTB exchange.
Ø AOL is a media technology company with a mission to simplify the internet for
consumers and creators by unleashing the world's best builders of culture and
code. As one of the largest online properties with over 350 million monthly
global consumers of its premium brands, AOL is at the center of disruption of
how content is being produced, distributed, consumed and monetized by
connecting publishers with advertisers on its global, programmatic content and
advertising platforms. AOL is a subsidiary of Verizon.
Ø On 9/3/2015, AOL announced that it will
acquire all outstanding shares of Millennial
Media (NYSE: MM) for $1.75 per share in
cash
Ø The transaction will take the form of a tender
offer followed by a Merger
Ø Deal terms:
Ø Equity value: $273 million
Ø Enterprise value: $244 million
Ø EV/LTM Revenue: 0.8x
Ø EV/2015E Revenue(1): 0.9x
Strategic Rationale
(1) Based on Millennial’s Mid Scenario, as defined in the 14D-9.
Ø This announcement follows the recent acquisition of AOL by Verizon Wireless, the nation’s
largest wireless network
- With the acquisition of AOL, Verizon acquired significant content and Ad Tech
capabilities; however one key piece was missing, Mobile Ad Tech
Ø Millennial Media will provide AOL with significant mobile capabilities to its ONE platform,
creating the largest open, mobile-first programmatic platform on the market
Ø Millennial Media is ahead of two key trends in digital advertising, the opportunity and growth
in mobile advertising, as well as the shift to programmatic
- Mobile ad spending is expected to reach $40 billion by 2016 (eMarketer, 03/2015)
- Mobile will account for 69% of programmatic ad buying by 2016 (eMarketer, 10/2014)
Ø This is a prime example of ongoing interest in digital marketing from new entrants, including
Telco, Consumer Internet, CRM/Software, and Data companies
- LUMA expects this trend to continue as deep pocketed buyers seek “right-time
decisioning of consumer data”

Unruly to be Acquired by News Corp

Announced September 16, 2015
Strategic Rationale
Ø Through the acquisition of Unruly, News Corp will gain access to Unruly’s expertise in video
distribution, unique advertising platform and experienced technical team
Ø Comes at a time when many publisher models are shifting from fragmented teams for
production, distribution and monetization, to a unified system where data connects and
powers the production, distribution and monetization strategies
- Incumbent publishers have seen new entrants successfully leverage technology and
data to increase page views, as well as drive higher CPMs
Ø Unruly’s expertise in digital video distribution, native ad insertion, and content optimization
will help News Corp get ahead of the trend to utilize technology and data for publishing
Ø Represents the first large native advertising deal and puts News Corp at the nexus of native,
video, and programmatic advertising, all of which are expected to grow significantly in the
coming years
Ø Allows Unruly’s top tier advertisers, such as Dove and T-Mobile, to benefit from News Corp’s
premium content and distribution
Ø Unruly is the ad tech company that gets videos watched, tracked and shared
across the Open Web. Positioned at the intersect of video, social, native &
mobile, Unruly uses emotional audience data and user-friendly video formats
to massively increase viewer engagement, brand performance & publisher
revenues. Unruly employs 200 people across 15 offices, with regional HQs in
London, New York and Singapore. Its super power is emotional ad tech. Its
secret weapon is passionate people on a mission to #DeliverWow.
Ø News Corporation (NASDAQ: NWS, NWSA; ASX: NWS, NWSLV) is a global,
diversified media and information services company focused on creating and
distributing authoritative and engaging content to consumers throughout the
world. The company comprises businesses across a range of media, including:
